How to Use Brazilian Wood Plant Food
| Method | Amount | How Often |
|---|---|---|
| Watering can / water dish | 1 tsp per quart (32 oz) of water | High light: once a week |
| Watering can / water dish | Same dilution | Low light: once a month |
| Foliar spray (optional) | ½ tsp per pint (16 oz) of water; spray on leaves | Every 1–2 weeks |
Refresh the log's water with fresh diluted solution at each feeding — this plant feeds through water, not soil.
What's Inside
The 1-0.5-3 ratio is deliberately weak, because Brazilian wood is grown in water rather than soil and its sprouts absorb nutrients directly from it — standard fertilizer strength damages them. The gentle formula supplies just enough nitrogen and phosphorus for growth, with potassium leading at 3% to keep the sprouts strong and green, at a concentration safe for water culture. All of the nitrogen is nitrate nitrogen, the form these plants take up most readily.
Beyond NPK: calcium, magnesium, iron, manganese, zinc, copper, boron, molybdenum, and sulfur — a full micronutrient set that keeps the foliage deep green and growing steadily. The formula is also built to stabilize pH and discourage algae, the two problems that most often trouble any plant kept in standing water around a log or in a dish.
Made For
Brazilian wood plants (also sold as Brazil wood or wood plant) — the sprouting logs kept in a shallow dish of water on desks, windowsills, and shelves, grown for the bright green shoots that emerge from the wood.
Problems It Solves
- Yellowing or pale sprouts on a Brazilian wood log
- Cloudy, algae-filled water around the log
- Slow growth and weak new shoots
- Uncertainty about feeding a water-grown log plant
FAQs
How do I feed a Brazilian wood plant?
Mix 1 tsp per quart into water and use it to refresh the water the log sits in. Brazilian wood grows in water with no soil, so the sprouts feed directly from it — change to fresh diluted solution weekly in bright light or monthly in low light, and keep the base of the log in water between feedings.
How often should I feed it?
Once a week in a bright spot during active growth, and once a month in low light. Because the formula is so gentle, this regular schedule feeds steadily without buildup — over-feeding is the most common mistake with water-grown plants, so stick to the label rate.
Why is my Brazilian wood turning yellow or not sprouting?
Yellowing or weak sprouting usually comes from poor water quality, too little light, or over-feeding. Use filtered or distilled water rather than hard tap water, give the log bright indirect light, and feed only at the gentle rate. Fresh water and steady light do more than heavy feeding ever will.
Will this help with algae around the log?
Yes — the formula is built to discourage algae and stabilize pH, the two problems that cloud the water around a wood plant. Keeping the dish out of direct sun and refreshing the water regularly helps most, and using an opaque dish limits the light algae needs to grow.
When will I see results?
Greener, stronger sprouts usually show within a few weeks of regular feeding, and clearer water follows once you're on a consistent refresh-and-feed routine. Brazilian wood grows steadily rather than quickly, so improvement is gradual.
